In 1874, a conference was held in Berne, Switzerland, with delegates from more than 20 countries.
During the congress an agreement was signed to establish the Universal Postal Union, and the main document - Universal Postal Convention, outlining basic principles of UPU and rights and responsibilities of members, was adopted. Today nearly 200 states are represented in this structure. Azerbaijan has been a member of UPU since 1993.
